The debate began when the Bleachers frontman shared a post on his Instagram Stories celebrating his new collaboration with the "Anti-Hero" singer.

Antonoff noted that the "very special track from the 'Midnights' sessions that's finally streaming" was "written and recorded at home on 12/5/21 after Taylor ate these raisins," posting a photo of Swift snacking alongside.

The song is thought to be about Alwyn, whom she broke up with in April. However, with the date Antonoff shared, fans attempted to solve the mystery surrounding the timeline of their breakup, with many noting that they ended things much earlier.

In the song, Swift sings, "throw[ing] out everything we built or keep[ing] it" and claims the mystery man "might have just dealt the final blow."

The song continues, "I glared at you with storms in my eyes / How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dying? / I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick / My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick."

Swift adds in the bridge that she "wouldn't marry [herself] either" since she's a "pathological people pleaser who only wanted" her significant other "to see [her]."
